Most people think the best real estate deals are found on LoopNet, Crexi, or the MLS. The truth? By the time a property hits those sites, it’s usually already been picked over.

In this episode, Nick Burton and I break down exactly how we find the best off-market commercial real estate deals in 2025. We cover the “sweet spot” between mom-and-pop landlords and institutional buyers, why older vintage properties have huge upside right now, and how rescue capital is creating opportunities most investors don’t even know exist.

We’ve acquired thousands of units using these exact strategies. If you want to learn how to source, negotiate, and close commercial real estate acquisitions when the market feels tough, this episode will show you where to look and how to win.

Some people are saying “real estate is not a good investment in 2025.” But is that true? In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Nick Burton to react to a recent video where Ray Dalio makes that exact claim.

Nick and I break down why we believe real estate is still one of the best wealth-building strategies available — even in today’s market. We cover the impact of interest rates, inflation, property taxes, and liquidity, plus how creative financing and deal structure can make opportunities work when headlines say otherwise.

We share real examples from deals we’ve closed (including a $10M building with fixed debt that makes us immune to rising rates) and explain why rental properties remain the strongest hedge against inflation. You’ll also hear about where we see the future going — from fractional ownership to crypto-backed liquidity — and why motivated sellers will always create opportunities for savvy operators.

If you’re an investor, entrepreneur, or anyone curious about commercial real estate, this conversation will give you clarity on why macro headlines don’t tell the whole story.

0:00 – Cold open: why you can’t make macro claims about real estate 0:20 – Intro: Tim & Nick break down the “real estate is dead” claim 1:30 – The argument: why critics say real estate is a bad investment 2:25 – Everyone has a bias (stocks vs. real estate) 5:00 – Is real estate too interest rate sensitive? 6:25 – Case study: how we bought a $10M building immune to rates 8:15 – Why real estate is the best hedge against inflation 10:30 – Property taxes & depreciation explained 12:30 – Is real estate too illiquid? Or is that a strength? 14:40 – The future: crypto, fractional ownership & multifamily 17:30 – Why you can still find great deals in any market 19:20 – The sailboat analogy: it’s not about the wind, it’s about the sail 20:45 – Wrap-up & how to connect with us

In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with my good friend Tyson Cobb — a highly successful orthopedic professional who realized one day that he was “wearing the golden handcuffs.” Despite earning a high income, he was trading his time for money, stuck in the hospital, the OR, or the clinic… and if he didn’t show up, nothing happened.

Tyson shares exactly how he pivoted from medicine into real estate and business investments that buy back his time, create long-term wealth, and allow him to design a lifestyle most white collar professionals only dream about. We break down: - How to transition from a high-paying career into real estate investing - The most valuable skill a white collar professional can develop to scale their portfolio - Using investor education to build trust and raise capital - Why lifestyle design should be a core part of your investment plan - Market opportunities in multifamily, business acquisitions, and rescue capital deals

Whether you’re a doctor, attorney, executive, or any other professional looking to escape the time-for-money trap, Tyson’s story is proof that you can design a life you don’t need a vacation from.
